• Shred the chicken and add it to the bottom of a 9x9 inches baking dish. Top with 1 cup of sweet corn and the 2 jalapeños cut into rondelles. If you want to reduce the spiciness of this dish, remove the seeds from the peppers.

• Pour the mixture over the chicken.

• Cook hash browns per package direction and add them as the final top layer.
• Bake for 20 - 25 mins at 400F and broil for 2 minutes. Remove from oven, let the casserole stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, top with extra jalapeños (optional) and serve.
• Enjoy!
